San Francisco Lost

Can a notorious lesbian womanizer and a straight woman just be friends?

Macon Greene has the reputation of being a love' em and leave ‘em kind of woman among her friends. In reality, she is a protege violinist who does not like to call attention to herself and though she likes the ladies, she is choosy about her partners. Lately she has been hanging out with Joanna Mason, the only straight woman, in her group of friends. At first she was attracted to Joanna until she found out she was straight and now they are just friends. Joanna has had some bad dates and relationships, but still turns away from any lesbian who hits on her. They have a lot in common and see each almost every day until their friends make them confront their nonexistent feelings for each other - or are they nonexistent? It is not until their friends keep saying that they have feelings for each other do they start to wonder, do they?

Nicole Pyland takes us on a nice journey with Macon and Joanna in Macon's Heart. We get to see their friendship grow deeper before they even have to question whether there is something more to their feelings. This is actually the first book this year that actually deals directly with a straight girl contemplating having sex for the first time with a woman and the feelings that go along with the idea and the decision. I applaud Pyland for this as I have found this to be lacking in every book I have read this year. Pyland also deals with a constant issue in friend groups and that is perceptions and blind statements and it is dealt with sensitivity and reality. I love Macon and Joanna's friendship as sometimes it takes an “outsider” to really see who someone is and Joanna sees Macon. What I like about Pyland's writing is the reality she infuses within her storyline from the taste of a woman to the conversation between friends when one of them realizes they have hurt the other. There is laughter, bang your head moments, and of course sex (good sex too) in Macon's Heart and Pyland's realism is a fabulous dose of reality I want to read all the time.
